They had 12 in 2008 (4 by Alexei), 5 in 2007, 11 in 2006, and just 2 in 2005 (not counting the postseason of course).Do you happen to have the info on the slams they hit in 2005? I feel like they were important ones, yet I can't remember them.

Are these statistics kept? I can't seem to find them anywhere, but my knowledge of baseball stat searching is limited.

If they are kept, could someone point me in the direction to find out how many the Sox hit in 2009?

Thanks!:smile:

B-R's Play Index will fill you in on all that stuff. It is a premium service ($3/month is the cheapest they offer), but my god it is amazing.

I seem to recall Konerko hitting one at some point.............:)

Ah, I remember all of these. Could even tell you where I was for the ones that I didn't see live on TV/radio. I know I was out to dinner with my parents after my a cappella group had a concert for Alexei's. Dad and I had gone out to run some errands for JD's against the Twins, I was working at JJ's, getting updates from my delivery driver Sox fan friend for Buehrle's perfect game and Fields' slam (I got to hear the eighth in my car driving home and got home to watch the ninth), and was at an ISU football game when Quentin hit his.

Sheesh, I never really thought about it... Didn't realize teams hit so few grand slams. I think I've seen a completely disproportionate number in person. I get to usually 1 game per year, when I lived in Chicago I still only got to maybe 3-5.

I was there, it was the only Sox game I went to last year.

Alexei set a new rookie record in 2008 with 4 grand slams. :smile:

I was at the 7/17 game when Thome went deep. That thing was as SHOT! Similar to his HR in Game 163 in 2008.

I've probably seen a few Grand Slam in my day which I can't recall at the moment, but I will always remember seeing Lance Johnson's only career grand slam. You can put it on the board, yes.

I was at that game, I was like, five, so the fireworks scared the beejesus out of me and I spent the whole game covering my ears until my dad said "Pat, this guy hardly ever hits homeruns..." So I uncovered my ears and then, he hit one!

Haha, for about a year after you started posting here I had that same sensation every time I looked at your user name. :cool:
